Obligatory Daily Update: 564

Let me get my wine…

I didn’t quite have a plan for today’s post. Boyfriend surprised me when I woke up later than usual (10:30am) and shook him awake.

Me: “Aren’t you going to be late for work?!”

Boyfriend: “Nope.”

Me: “But, it’s after 10:30!?”

Boyfriend: “I put in for PTO.” He shut his eyes and snuggled back into his pillow and firmly suggested I make breakfast.

I was both relieved and annoyed at the same time. My days alone at home are…lonely. Also filled with rage towards Puppy – whose sole purpose is to reign terror on any living thing (including Boyfriend, Herman and I), as well as walls, light switches, furniture, and well all inanimate objects – you get the point.

Since Boyfriend had today off, that meant that we were in for a day of gaming. Days off =Game Time. I don’t blame him or hold any type of resentment towards him for it; he has a soul-sucking job and our duties around the house are split mostly fifty-fifty. He just assumes that he’s the one who is supposed to empty the cat box, which I am NOT complaining about, and I will keep my mouth shut – by the way. So, when weekends come around, he shouldn’t (and probably doesn’t) have any guilt about playing games from dawn to dusk.

So today was Game Time, although a very different one.

I got us some coffee, “made” bagels (if you can call it that), and sat down with the fullest of intentions to write you a much better post than yesterday. Better ideas, a better outline, and one with an overall better texture…then…I waited for the coffee to kick in and the ideas to flow. And you know what? Not much really happened. So we went about our daily tasks, and fell into the “game time” day routine where we just sit and game all day. I hoped to manipulate it into some sort of post. 😉

He heard about a show, Hi Score Girl, coming out on Netflix, as a Netflix Original even. We binge watched straight through it. Ha ha. It didn’t take too awfully long and was extremely enjoyable to watch as a couple.

After which, we watched some YouTube and ate pizza. Today was a bit different because although Boyfriend was off and it was reasonable to think that he would want to game all day, we’ve mostly just been watching Twitch streams, watching other people play through games, and he literally just turned on an R. Kelly documentary “Surviving R. Kelly”.

Don’t get me wrong, he is playing a game at the SAME time on his Switch. He just wants to be able to play, watch, and also hear something else at the same time. There can never be too many screens!

Because of his schedule, he also has tomorrow off. Go figure – he’d take today off, before his actual day off. Although today was different, tomorrow might see a little more actual game time.

Well, I’m out of wine and apparently there six episodes of this R. Kelly documentary…we just started #2.

Talk to you tomorrow.
